According to Steam, the new DLC releases in about 2 hours. See you all on the field, Commanders!

Well, in a few days at least. Damn you, Work and Real Life.

[Mephansteras]

Well, that answers what I'm doing this evening.

[umiman]

Still waiting for my key.

[ArchAIngel]

Holy fucking shitballs 30.1gb of XCOM.

[Mephansteras]

Yeah. At least I'll get to try it out tonight, I guess. Last night was spent downloading.

[Wiles]

Is there any way to tell if you are playing with the DLC? I installed it but everything still looks like vanilla X-Com2.

Edit: It was easy to figure it out... I just didn't pay attention to the launcher, I pressed play without looking. But you have to select War of the Chosen from the launcher.

Yeah, I made that mistake as well haha.

Well? How's it holding up?

[thvaz]

Played a bit, it looks samey so far. Had the first encounter with the Assassin, it was a bit underwhelming. Game crashed once.

[GiglameshDespair]

It's good. I like the changes so far.

Enemies seem to appear sooner, at least in the single run I played so far.
A lot of the the new maps and mission types are fun, if punishing.

Just a heads up to anyone who wants to use their XCOM2 characters in the DLC. You can load up the base game without the DLC through the launcher, export your characters, then go to where those were saved on your computer, for me it was documents/mygames/xcom2/xcomgame/characterpool/importable and then move them to the appropriate folder under XCOM2 War of the Chosen.

I was a bit worried at first when I booted up the game and my characters weren't there. I had mistakenly booted up vanilla xcom this morning before I had to leave to make a bunch of characters to play with later. I thought they were all gone before I figured it out

Oh, that's something that'll be appreciated greatly. Do any of the voice pack/cosmetic mods need to be updated for War of the chosen at all or are they usable once the game is updated?

In my brief testing, voice packs seem ok. Actual cosmetic packs are a bit iffy. Some of them work fine, others just show up pure black as the textures aren't loading. Not sure what causes that. Whatever is going on also caused serious lag when trying to load up a mod cosmetic piece in a lot of cases.

So far hair seems ok, although I haven't done as much testing with that.

[Taricus]

Helmets work without problems at all as well?

[Chiefwaffles]

Sheesh. Firaxis really outdid themselves here. I definitely see what Firaxis meant when they said that War of the Chosen was originally intended to be XCOM 3. There's so much content. Almost unbelievable.
